Balenciaga charges £1,150 for tights riddled with holes and ladders.
The luxury fashion brand’s ‘destroyed tights’ cost £400 more than their flawless counterparts, which cost just £725.
The tights, made in Italy, are advertised on the brand’s website as “technical knit” with a “destroyed effect and contrasting double fabric.”
Several holes are cut into both sides of the tights, which are available in black and light beige.

Part of a range of Olympic souvenirs, they come with the word “Paris” embossed on the front and decorated with images of the city’s famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame de Paris.
